James Gunn assures us that the music in the upcoming Superman film won’t take away from the storyline. Unlike his Guardians of the Galaxy series, which stood out due to its nostalgic soundtrack within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, he didn’t aim to replicate this strategy for Superman. During a visit to the set, Gunn shared insights about the music in the DCU’s Superman with ComicBook and other media outlets. The teaser for Superman features a cover of the theme from John Williams’ score for the 1978 film, leading reporters to ask Gunn about this selection, as well as his overall approach to music for this movie.

One of the slogans for the 1978 original Superman was “You’ll think a man can fly,” as its groundbreaking visual effects showcased superhuman abilities unlike anything seen before. Nearly half a century later, film effects have reached unprecedented heights, both in terms of scale and realism. This posed an interesting challenge for director James Gunn when it came to the upcoming Superman, as he aimed to offer a fresh take on actor David Corenswet flying as Superman. Gunn was greatly influenced by Top Gun: Maverick when creating the aerial action scenes. The new Superman is scheduled to hit theaters on July 11, 2025.

As per James Gunn, the characters from DC’s Superman, who appear alongside the Man of Steel in the movie “Superman”, aren’t merely there for brief appearances. Instead, “Superman” marks the beginning of a new narrative era for DC Studios on the big screen, featuring both heroes and villains from the DC universe. Although Superman’s name is in the title, it’s not just him who will be making an appearance. In fact, audiences can expect to meet Mister Terrific, Metamorpho, Hawkgirl, and Guy Gardner within the movie itself. These characters won’t make their entrance through a post-credits scene; instead, they are set to play significant roles in “Superman”.

Within a fortnight, NetEase Games has already implemented updates for Marvel Rivals, incorporating fresh skins, balance tweaks, and additional features. Despite being open to modifications, it appears that a role queue system is not under development at the moment. In an interview with Dot Esports, Marvel Rivals creative director Guangyun “Guangguang” Chen has ruled out this possibility – for now. Chen emphasized that the intention is to prevent players from feeling constrained by hero choices based on team requirements, instead allowing them to feel at ease choosing whoever they desire to play as.

James Gunn, the director of the upcoming Superman film, is intentionally steering clear of a common pitfall found in comic book movies: over-emphasis on the hero’s origin story. Fans have become accustomed to experiencing new renditions of their beloved superhero’s backstory, regardless of how familiar it may be. In a departure from tradition, Gunn has opted for a more unconventional approach by launching fans directly into the action without needing to rehash Superman’s origin story in its entirety. While Smallville and Metropolis will likely feature prominently, audiences can expect a focus on the story rather than an extensive retelling of Clark Kent’s life leading up to becoming Superman.
